Abstract: We study Riemannian metrics on compact, torsionless, non-geometric 3-manifolds, i.e. whose interior does not support any of the eight model geometries. We prove a lower bound "`a la Margulis" for the systole and a volume estimate for these manifolds, only in terms of an upper bound of entropy and diameter. We then deduce corresponding local topological rigidy results in the class mathscrMngtpartial(E,D) of compact non-geometric 3-manifolds with torsionless fundamental group (with possibly empty, non-spherical boundary) whose entropy and diameter are bounded respectively by E,D. For instance, this class locally contains only finitely many topological types; and closed, irreducible manifolds in this class which are close enough (with respect to E,D) are diffeomorphic. Several examples and counter-examples are produced to stress the differences with the geometric case.
